CSC program accreditation reaffirmed

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs
Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners has awarded
Chadron State College reaffirmation of accreditation of its business
programs.

Established in 1988, ACBSP is the only organization
offering specialized business accreditation for all degree levels, from
associate to baccalaureate to doctoral degree programs. The ACBSP
standards relate to curriculum, faculty resources, admissions, degree
requirements and the intellectual climate of the college.

ACBSP
accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes within
the business school at Chadron State College meet the rigorous
educational standards of continuous improvement, innovation and
scholarship established by ACBSP.

"Chadron State College has shown
their commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality
improvement by participating in the accreditation process,” said ACBSP
director of accreditation Steve Parscale, who will present the
certificate of reaffirmation of accreditation to CSC officials at the
ACBSP annual conference in Chicago, Ill., June 29.

"This
accreditation is evidence that Chadron State College is committed to
providing the highest quality business education for their students for
the next 10 years, just as they have done for the last 10 years,” said
Parscale.

Dr. Joel R. Hyer, dean of the school of Business,
Entrepreneurship, Applied and Mathematical Sciences, and Sciences, said
the announcement reflects the results of a collaborative,
multi-year process on the part of the faculty members within the
Business Academy to ensure quality.

Rick Koza, business professor
and chair of the Business Academy, said he and his colleagues are
pleased to receive this specialized accreditation which reaffirms that
they are dedicated to quality student learning outcomes, embrace the
virtues of teaching excellence and strive to ensure students have the
essentials to excel.

administration with areas of specialization or options in accounting,
marketing, management, finance, agri-business, business education and
